Laboratory
Laboratory of Molecular Genetics
The laboratory is designed for DNA-based analysis and molecular characterisation of plant material. It supports research on genetic diversity, variety identification, conservation genetics, marker-assisted selection, mutation breeding and comparative studies of modern, traditional and historical plant material.

Analyses
- DNA isolation from plant material
- assessment of DNA quality and quantity
- PCR-based analyses
- analysis with molecular markers
- genotyping of plant material
- assessment of genetic diversity
- identification of varieties, genotypes, breeding lines, mutant lines and conserved samples
- analysis of indigenous populations, local varieties, commercial varieties, breeding material, mutant lines, wild relatives, genetic material and samples from plant genetic resource collections
- identification of duplicates, related samples and genetically distinct material
- assessment of genetic relationships between samples and populations
- analysis of population structure
- checking genetic purity
- assessment of genetic stability
- marker-assisted selection
- screening for markers associated with agronomic, quality and adaptive traits and with stress resistance/tolerance
- molecular characterisation of plant responses to biotic and abiotic stress
- molecular characterisation of mutant lines and material created through mutation breeding
- supporting conservation genetics and germplasm management
- molecular analysis of historical, old or archaeological plant samples where the quantity, quality and preservation of the DNA allow analysis
- comparison of ancient, historical, traditional and modern plant material for research on origin, domestication, diversity, genetic continuity and crop evolution
- preparing molecular data for research projects, breeding programmes, biodiversity studies and scientific publications
